Yes, I know what your thinking...."wanton wrappers, are you crazy!!!
No actually, its genius. First of all, who has time to prepare the dough, let it rise, run it through the machine several times, fill and seal several dozen ravioli...Maybe my sister who lives in Italy, is a stay-at-home mom and is always jarring, preserving and germinating.... Certainly not me. I think its enough work just filling and sealing them...but Ohhhh so worth it! The fun part is you can fill them with whatever your heart desires. I filled mine with lamb, ricotta, goat & Parmesan cheese, topped with tomato sauce prepared with San Marzano tomato, olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley & basil and a whole onion, my favorite part. What i love most of all using the wraps is the quick cooking time (2min.) and that they're light & delicate ravioli, not thick and doughy. Which leaves plenty of room for dessert, homemade crepes filled with nutella, banana's & strawberries sauteed with honey topped with fresh cream. My dinner guests loved them, they couldn't get over how they didn't feel that heavy stuffed feeling you get after eating ravioli! Can't wait to make them again, as I'm thinking of what to fill them with next....the options are endless! You can boil'em, fry'em or bake'em....savory or sweet filling, different shapes, and it's fun for kids too...they can make their own!
What you'll need:
- your filling
- won ton wrappers, square or round (not egg roll wraps)
- egg wash to seal
- boiling water w/sea salt
- your topping ( red sauce, pink sauce, butter & sage, olive oil & garlic...etc.)
